Lay the Foundation for Change

Taking time to think about your goal and to write down the key attributes of your endeavor, will enhance the chances of meeting your objective.

Module-1-of-Willpower-Program-Lay-Foundation

Most people express themselves more thoughtfully and clearly in writing. It takes time and iterative thinking to crystallize your goals. Often the initial thoughts about our goals change over time. Writing things down will help you track your thought process and progress towards your goals.

Research:

A study at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, showed that students who wrote down their goal and their plan for achieving it, were much more likely to achieve their goal than students who did not.

Practice Guidelines:

We recommend that you start a Change Journal which you could use throughout your Change Journey.

Start by answering the following questions regarding your goal:

What is the specific goal you want to achieve?
How important is this goal to you and why? (on a scale of 1 to 10).
What inner need(s) of yours will be satisfied by achieving this goal?
What rewards will you experience or what pain will be alleviated by achieving this goal?
Which core personal values of yours is this goal aligned with?
What will your life be like once you achieve this goal?
What specific hurdles will you face and how will you overcome them?
How will you measure your progress as you move towards your goal?
How long will it take to achieve your goal?
What will be the key milestones along the way?
